The correct answer is **A: it was a sudden onset event that led to forced migration**.
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s, characterized by severe drought and poor agricultural practices, created devastating conditions for farmers and residents in affected areas, particularly in the Southern Plains. The environmental disaster made it nearly impossible to sustain livelihoods in those regions, leading many people to leave their homes in search of better opportunities elsewhere, particularly in California. This migration was often abrupt and driven by necessity rather than choice, thus categorizing it as forced migration.
